3.0 out of 5 stars
great for history and context,
By GeoFru "George" (El Cerrito, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Accounting History from the Renaissance to the Present: A Remembrance of Luca Pacioli (Routledge New Works in Accounting History) (Hardcover)
> "should be recommended reading for Accounting majors."Not sure it's needed for accounting majors. I make a brief reference to Pacioli in my Accounting Systems class. In that Queen Isabella being one of the first venture capitalists, used double-entry accounting, a la Pacioli, to make sure she got a return, and saved her country and her reign. I try to liven up why the study of accounting is important. It was interesting to learn that Pacioli "only" documented and popularized the Venetian Method of accounting, and did not invent it, as popularly thought.

Accounting History from the Resnaissance to the Present,
By "legalteam" (America) - See all my reviews

Any book regarding the suject of Accounting is worth while reading. As an Accounting Major in school we simply learn how to apply theory but not the history of Accounting. Luca Paciola was the father of Accounting and he set forth the rules that we still use today. A book that should be recommended reading for Accounting major's.
